Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Rs. 192.
Combined work rate (A + B + C) = 1/3 + 1/4 + 1/6 = 3/4
Time to complete = 4/3 days
A's work = (1/3) × (4/3) = 4/9
B's work = (1/4) × (4/3) = 1/3
C's work = (1/6) × (4/3) = 2/9
A : B : C = 4/9 : 1/3 : 2/9 = 4 : 3 : 2
A's share = (4/9) × 432 = 192
